SPECIAL ISSUE OF FRENCH HISTORICAL STUDIES

ON

FRANCE AND ISLAM

The Editors of French Historical Studies are soliciting articles for aspecial issue on France and Islam. Papers on research topics coveringall chronological periods from the medieval to the present are welcome.The editors would be especially pleased to consider submissions from themedieval and early modern periods as recent trends have meant that theseperiods are not always as well represented as the modern andpost-colonial periods. The aim is to have a series of articles thatcover the chronological spectrum. We understand "France" in the broadestway, including the medieval Frankish kingdoms, the Crusaders andCrusader states, and those people who called themselves "Franks" andwere called by Muslims "Ifranj/Firanj."

The framework of the issue will rest on three considerations, namely:

1. RELATIONS between France and Islamic countries

2. ENCOUNTERS AND RESPONSES of France or the French to Islam or of Islamic countries or Muslims to France or the French

3. INFLUENCES of Islam or Islamic countries on France or on Frenchcommunities and French influences on Islamic countries or on Islamic culture

There are no thematic preferences and the editors encourage scholars tosubmit any topic they feel would fit into the general framework of theissue.

Queries regarding potential submissions and all other inquiries shouldbe addressed to the guest editors, Patricia Lorcin and Paula Sandersplorcin@umn.edu or sanders@rice.edu. Articles can be either in Englishor in French but should conform to French Historical Studies stylisticguidelines (see http://fhs.ucdavis.edu/style.shtml for details).

Manuscripts can be sent by mail toEteica Spencer, French Historical Studies, History Department,University of California, Davis, Davis CA 95615.
